Retrieving Project Artifact from the Repository During Assembly
When creating *.zip assemblies for our various environments we would like to
retrieve the project artifact directly the repository, we do not want to
have to rebuild our project artifacts each time.
Is it possible to modify our assembly descriptors to retrieve a project
artifact out of the repository?

The assembly plugin should be able to do that, but also take a look a
the maven-dependency-plugin:copy / copy-dependencies goals. You could
also use this to pull it from the repo to a local folder and then
include that in the assembly. Sometimes this is easier to manage than
trying to coax the assembly to do everything.

The issue is not the dependecies of the project but the artifact
generated by
the project.
Our hudson server generated the jar file for the project and deployed it
into our snapshot repo. Now we want to create a couple of zips that
contain
the jar, its dependecies, and an environment specific property file and
we
would like to do this without having to create additonal poms.

Re: Retrieving Project Artifact from the Repository During Assembly

Both - there is a dependencies element in the assembly descriptor that
can use the dependencies listed in the POM (with filters applied) to
add them to the assembly. This should certainly be used for them
rather than referring to directories outside of the project.
Cheers,
Brett

Are you referring to the dependencies element of the POM?

If you are including it in the assembly using the dependencies
element, it uses whatever was retrieved by Maven. Maven will retrieve
it from the repository if it hasn't already been built. I'm not quite
sure what additional functionality you are looking for?
Cheers,
Brett
